Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced that the Bitcoin mining development kit has been upgraded to version 0.2.0, achieving its first complete end-to-end open-source operation. The latest version supports the full open-source deployment and operation of the entire Bitcoin mining machine development stack, and can display the mining machine's hash rate output data in real-time. Developers can directly launch the system and observe the real-time generation of the actual mining machine's hash rate on the interface. Its goal is to build a foundational technology framework that connects intelligent systems with physical infrastructure.

According to FinanceFeeds, Tether co-founder Reeve Collins stated that the stablecoin industry is entering the "2.0 era." Currently, the stablecoin infrastructure still has structural issues, and the next-generation solutions need to address the problem of users not being able to earn returns on reserve assets. The core logic of the stablecoin 1.0 model is "users provide 1 dollar, and the issuer issues 1 token," but users only gain the convenience of payments and transfers without sharing in the reserve earnings. In the future, financial services will gradually become infrastructure, and "users will not care which bank sends the funds," while AI agents may choose different financial ecosystems based on user interests. The next phase of competition in stablecoins will revolve around financial infrastructure and revenue distribution models.Regarding regulatory issues, Reeve Collins disclosed that he still holds Bitcoin for the long term, while also pointing out that dollar stablecoins essentially remain an extension of the U.S. financial system, which carries regulatory reach risks and differs from central bank digital currency (CBDC) models, the latter of which may bring stronger programmability and financial monitoring capabilities.

Trent Van Epps, the former core development coordinator of the Ethereum Foundation, stated that as the foundation continues to advance its "Subtraction governance" strategy, the size of the treasury gradually shrinks, and the four-year Client Incentive Program (CIP) expires this April, the Ethereum core development ecosystem may face a slowly brewing funding crisis in the next 3 to 9 months.Trent pointed out that maintaining the normal operation of over 10 Ethereum client teams, research institutions, and coordinating organizations requires approximately $30 million in funding support each year. If funding continues to be insufficient, it may lead to the loss of key developers, a slowdown in protocol upgrades, and weaken Ethereum's long-term competitiveness in areas such as scalability, quantum computing defense, and network maintenance. The Ethereum Foundation is not designed to be a permanent governor, and new institutions will need to take on the responsibilities of protocol development over the next decade. As the foundation's influence gradually declines, the Ethereum ecosystem urgently needs to establish new funding allocation mechanisms, governance frameworks, and institutional inheritance systems to ensure the long-term sustainable development of the protocol.

The Ethereum Glamsterdam hard fork entered the final development testnet phase on Tuesday, locking in ten EIP proposals, positioned as the largest protocol upgrade since the merge.The two core proposals are: EIP-7732, which directly writes the proposer-builder separation (ePBS) into the consensus layer, replacing the current reliance on off-chain relays like MEV-Boost; and EIP-7928, which introduces block-level access lists (BALs), allowing validators to process unrelated transactions in parallel. The combination of these paves the way for a 200 million Gas limit, increasing approximately three times from the current level of about 60 million, with theoretical throughput reaching around 10,000 TPS.On the user side, EIP-2780 is expected to make standard ETH transfers up to 71% cheaper. The mainnet activation date has yet to be determined and must first complete validation on the Holesky and Hoodi testnets. Based on historical rhythms, it is expected to go live between September and December 2026. The 200 million Gas limit is a design goal rather than a fork-enforced value, ultimately to be gradually increased by validators through Gas voting signals.
